I see that most manuals show fed. primers in the 416 Rigby I was wondering if anyone has used rem. 9 1/2M in the Rigby? I use rem. primers in all of my other cal. including the 375 RUM. and it would be nice to not have one more thing to get mixed up on my reloading bentch.
 
I have only used Fed 215's, and CCI 250's they both work great.

Ditto what 505ED said - I have had good results with the Federals and the CCI's.
 
I use W-W LR Magnum primers in my Rigby and they work fine. Any magnum primer will work and most LR primers will also be fine.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
